Due to the significant investment required and the large size of proposed future accelerators, there is considerable interest around the world in the forming a global collaboration to build, commission and remotely operate such a facility. The "Global Accelerator Network" concept has been proposed as a means for inter-regional collaboration in the operation of internationally constructed frontier accelerator facilities. A workshop entitled "Enabling the Global Accelerator Network" was held in March at Cornell University. The workshop emphasized conceptual and system aspects of a Global Control System including control system elements and tools and challenges related to communication and community building. This talk will summarize the results of the Cornell workshop.
